Ki Ki is a small town in South Australia. It is on the Dukes Highway (A8) adjacent to the Adelaide-Melbourne railway, the main links between Adelaide and Melbourne. The town is the primary settlement for the Hundred of Livingston.

The town was surveyed in 1913.[2] It got its name from the Kik Ki Well, which in turn was derived from the Aboriginal name for the worms dug out of the nearby soakage.[3] It has a small post office, parking bay, town hall, engineering business "Ki Ki Engineering", and is surrounded by large pastoral properties. At the 2006 census, Ki Ki had a population of 193.[4] Its postcode is 5261.

Ki Ki had a Congregational Church, which was built in 1910 and closed in 1969.

Ki Ki has an active tennis club, which belongs to the Border-Downs Tennis Association.

Australian rules footballer Martin Mattner grew up in the town.
